Best Time to Visit Greece
What is the best time to visit Greece? The climate is warm and sunny for the majority of the year with the risk of the odd shower of rain and some cooler periods over the winter.
From April/May onwards the weather settles but it can sometimes be cool in the evenings. By mid/end of May, the weather generally settles in a pattern of long hot sunny days and balmy evenings especially in July and August when it can be very hot. Rain is unlikely but it can happen from time to time. May to October are particularly pleasurable months. The islands are mostly summer destinations opening from May to September. Some winter options are available in Athens and other mainland areas.
